Facing the Cheddar Curtain: Mr. Lockton's Sticky Situation
Our cheese-loving protagonist found himself in a bit of a pickle. The Patriots, with all the subtlety of a runaway carriage, were none too fond of Mr. Lockton's lingering affection for King George. Let's just say they weren't handing out "Loyalist of the Year" awards.
QuickTip: If you skimmed, go back for detail.
Escape or Face the Music (Maybe Literally): With the metaphorical band about to strike up a rather unpleasant tune, Mr. Lockton needed a way out of dodge faster than you can say "brie yourself."

The Plan is as Sharp as a Cheddar Knife: Enter the Cheese Crate Caper
Now, Mr. Lockton wasn't exactly known for his cunning. In fact, rumour has it his idea of a daring disguise involved a slightly askew powdered wig. But desperation breeds, well, desperate ideas.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.
The Cheese Wedge Gambit: Enter the cheese crate. A wheel of cheddar, a spacious box, and voila! The ultimate in cheesy concealment (though the resulting aroma might have given him away).
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
